8. Status of Indian women's rights
http://indev.nic.in/indev/profNewsItem.asp?id=984
The 1980s saw the nation's women's movement making rapid strides.
There was progress on rape and domestic violence laws and
women's groups could take credit for bringing about much of
the legal reform that happened during that period. And yet,
the protection offered by our legal system for victims of
rape and violence has not notably improved. Furthermore, the
Gujarat riots of 2002 witnessed a massive outbreak of women's
abuse with the state administration looking the other way.
